Breshnitch discovered that the group which received accurate information could endure the journey well but the group which knew nothing had high stress. The stress in their minds affected their bodies as well. He checked the cortisone and the prolectin in their blood. These two hormones are essential for the immune system to be stimulated. He found out that the level of hormones are related to their stress and anxiety of the mind more than those of the body which is caused by the journey. The ones who didn’t know their goal got stress in the minds and their immune systems were severely repressed.

It’s a pity that people nowadays especially the cousins, husband, wife, children or siblings of the patients are trying to hide the truth from them because they’re afraid that they will not be able to face it, shock, cry hard or commit suicide. Even some doctors have the same ideas, so they help these people to conceal the truth.

Why are we having these kinds of idea? The main reason is because it’s the cousins themselves who can’t accept the truth or they have some misunderstandings, for example, “If he/she has cancer, he/she will absolutely die. To tell them the truth means nothing anyway.” or “To cure the disease, only the doctor is needed to make an operation or radiation. The patient has no role. So, why tell them?” Some may think “If we tell the patient, he/she will be discouraged and unable to eat or sleep. Thus, the treatment will not work efficiently.”

Most people lack of knowledge and experiences. They never see any patients with cancer who can survive. If they hear about it they would think it’s a joke or something about luck. They never think their cousins would have a chance to survive because of the doctor’s prediction that he/she will have to die within 6 months or 3-5 years. Moreover, the doctor himself is so confident about the statistic. Therefore, when he meets the patients with cancer spreaded widely or those who have it again and again, sometimes he also feels discouraged and even thinks about ending the case. If it’s like this, how can he feels like telling the diagnosis to the patients.

The consequence of not telling the patients the diagnosis is that they will be in the dark, get more stress and feel like there’s a boundary between them and the doctor, their husbands or wives and children. Think about it! A person who is in distress like this, how weak his/her immune system will be. It’s just like he/she can only lie and wait for the death. The picture of a dying person in bed with cousins standing around lying to each other must be very pitiful.

Dr. Berny Seagal had made a record and found out that 80% of cancer patients knew in their hearts that they have cancer but they just didn’t say it. We often discovered that if we tell the patients that they have cancer but also try to encourage them and give them hopes, tell them “ You have to fight and we will be by your side.”, their immune system will be revitalized a great deal. Many cases like this are found that the patients eventually live on and cancer is defeated.

Buarong, an example of a patient with lung cancer, had undergone the whole process of chemotherapy. The result was there was too much water in her lung. The doctor told her she had 6 months left. Then, her children decided to tell her the truth and she answered “It’s what I was thinking.” She started eating fresh vegetables and fruits, stopped eating all kinds of meat, meditated, and used natural therapy. In consequence, the level of water in her lung is reduced. She then continued to use these methods with chemotherapy. 6 months later, the water dried out and the lump in the lung had only the fascia left. She was another patient who survived from cancer by not believing in the prediction of the doctor.

“I have to thank the doctor and my children for telling me the truth. It was very important because it brought me out of darkness and overcome cancer finally.”
